This book describes methods of investigation for processes taking place in real lakes, as components of the geophysical environment. Covers numerical modeling, observation and experimental procedures, and the dynamics of lake water as a particle-laden fluid. more...

This first volume in the treatise on the Physics of Lakes deals with the formulation of the mathematical and physical background, presenting the morphology of a large number of lakes as well as the causes of their response to the driving environment. more...

This volume examines lakes as oscillators. It covers barotropic and baroclinic waves in homogeneous and stratified lakes on the rotating Earth, presents a classification of rotating shallow-water waves and describes Kelvin-type and Poincaré-type waves. more...
